Agua y Drenaje de Monterrey’s board rejected its proposed 2027 budget and debt request in a vote reported by Milenio on Nov. 3 and El Norte on Nov. 4.
El Norte says the proposal arrived without enough time for analysis. Milenio reports members also cited 2025–26 financing that the utility had not used.
Milenio puts the proposed 2027 budget at MXN 16 billion and the debt request at MXN 2.707 billion. It says the package must return to the board before the state can include it in the next fiscal package.
The water-infrastructure plan discussed alongside the request includes a MXN 4.2 billion curtain for the El Cuchillo II dam, with an estimated 50% federal contribution, Milenio reports. No reconsideration date was reported.
